Fume Hood

A fume hood also known as a fume cupboard serves as a ventilation device, it's basic function to protect the user from noxious gases. Clean air would be drawn in through the open front of the hood and expelled either through an exterior vent or filter. This specific fume hood also doubles as a blast shield; a plexiglass cover would be lowered over the hood to protect the user from small controlled chemical explosions.
